Do Root Canals Fail?
When a tooth develops an infection, treatment is required. Lack of treatment means the tooth could essentially die. At this stage, the tooth might need extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into the jaw. Often, the ideal treatment for an infected tooth is a root canal. The procedure is effective, but sometimes a root canalled tooth becomes infected again, and retreatment could be needed. You may need to see one of our Klamath dentists or endodontists for a root canal retreatment.
A root canal involves removing the tissues from inside of the tooth. The interiors and root canals are cleaned, and a restorative material, AKA gutta percha, is then administered. Often, the tooth is then restored with a porcelain crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also blend with the smile. But if there are complications with the procedure, the health of the tooth could be compromised. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and discomfort when biting down. If you experience this, don’t risk missing teeth. Doctors Network can help you find a dentist in Klamath, CA that can offer retreatment and accepts Cigna.
